Roborock, one of the leaders in home robotics engineering, has unveiled the Saros Rover – the world’s first robot vacuum with wheel leg architecture so it can climb and navigate stairs, slopes and other previously inaccessible areas.
Revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Saros Rover is one of the company’s most ambitious products to date.
This world first technology features two wheel leg architecture built into the robot vacuum with each leg offering its own reach, lift and height to imitate human mobility.
The unit can raise and lower each one of the wheel legs independently and even execute small jumps and agile turns, sudden stops and directional changes.
And all the while it maintains a level body as the ground below it changes.
The Saros Rover also uses AI algorithms alongside complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its surroundings and make its wheel legs react precisely.
The Saros Rover is ideal for a cleaning a multi storey home including each individual stair.
And all the while it is offering consistent performance while moving seamlessly floor to floor and reducing the number of no-go zones and extending the reach of its cleaning abilities.
The Saros Rover’s capabilities even go beyond traditional staircases.
It can navigate a wide range of home configurations including curved staircases and carpeted staircases with bull nose fronts along with slopes or complex multi-level room thresholds that require height and power to move through those areas.
And it does so with ease and precision.
Roborock has confirmed the Saros Rover is a real product that is being developed and it will be launched into the market at a time to be confirmed.
Roborock has also unveiled the Saros 20 and the F-25 ace pro.
The Roborock Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic are the latest in the flagship Saros series which made its debut in 2025.
The Saros 20 has a new level of autonomy including AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 for double layer threshold crossings as high as 8.5cm.
Also on board is this StarSite Autonomous System 2.0 which allows the unit to map faster and recognise more than 200 objects.
The AdaptiLift Chassis combines an advanced vision stack with liftable main and auxiliary wheels and a climbing arm that can unfold when detecting thresholds to enable the robot to rise higher than ever before.
The Saros 20 has 35,000Pa HyperForce motor and is maintained with the all new RockDock which offers 100°C hot water washing.
Roborock’s F-25 ACE Pro introduces the next generation of floor cleaning with new JetFoaming technology that can tackle the most stubborn household messes with a single sweep.
The JetFoaming technology produces an ultra-dense foam system that transforms 1ml of foam cleaning solution into 167 million microbubbles which are designed to clean, cling to and dissolve tough household stains like spilled coffee, source and greasy residue.
